Hamburg, Germany РIrish showjumping rider Denis Lynch knows what he wants. This summer he will focus his attention mainly on the Global Champions Tour, presented by CN and CN WorldWide. He will do his utmost to gain a starting ticket for the final in the Brazilian city Ṣo Paulo where the 25 highest ranked riders from the seven preliminary rounds will compete in October.
Lynch is in a good starting position. Mid April he won the openings leg in Doha, Qatar with his Hanoverian gelding Lantinus 3. In Hamburg, the Irish rider will try to repeat this feat on Saturday during the second leg of the Global Champions Tour (GCT).
For Lynch it is the first time that he is allowed to participate in this prestigious competition. He is thrilled because for him it is the best of the equestrian world. “The Global Champions Tour has priority for meâ€. Though he started his career in equestrian sport on the race track, height and weight forced him to consider other options. With show jumping in mind, Lynch moved to Germany where he first rode at Peter Weinberg’s and now runs his own stable.
